Very short quantum wires (quantum contacts) exhibit a conductance structure at the value of conductance close to 0.7 x 2e^2/h. The structure was discovered by Thomas et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 77}, 135 (1996)). Dependence of the structure on the longitudinal magnetic field was studied in the same experiment. This dependence has clearly demonstrated that the effect is related to the electron spin. In the recent work (Sushkov, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 64}, (2001)) it was suggested that the effect is caused by the development of the charge density wave within the contact. The many-body Hartree-Fock calculation has confirmed the picture. The exchange electron-electron interaction is crucial for this calculation, so in agreement with experiment the effect is intrinsically related to the spin. However the dependence on the magnetic field has not been calculated yet. In the present paper the many-body Hartree-Fock calculation of conductance in the presence of the longitudinal magnetic field is performed.
